[Emc-users] Remembering the last tool in spindle before restart (andrew beck)
HI Had this same issue yesterday on a machine im retrofitting. I have a crude workaround that seems to be working... M6 is remapped to do the toolchange using the .ngc program. When the tool is changed, i update a paremeter #5000 with the new tool number. #5000 was added to the .var file I then added a MDI_command to the .ini file : M61 Q#5000 And i issue the MDI command when the machine is on and homed. I did this using classicladder, with machine-is-on, x-is-homed, y-is-homed, and z-is homed all in series, with a monostable to pulse the output and the mdi command is then excecuted. You can do this in hal as well with a couple of and2 and oneshot components.

I got a fixed position toolchanger using Andy's carousel component. Just need to remember the tool in spindle before shutdown When you set toolchanger as random io control remembers the last tool when you restart. And that works perfectly for a few years on another machine. But this machine I'm having issues with. I found that this is a pretty common problem. Hoping it's been fixed by now and would love to know how people get around it if it's not fixed yet. https://forum.linuxcnc.org/49-basic-configuration/31150-current-tool-number- permanent?start=10 And Todd Zuercher had a interesting idea I saw maybe using a random toolchanger setup and tricking it. Also I think Andy got it working but would appreciate some clarification on what people managed to get working Anyway hoping someone can help cheers -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [Emc-users] Emc-users Digest, Vol 193, Issue 2
The Mesa converter does appear to be just an adaptor Im in South Africa, i think the shipping would not make it worth while, but the offer is very kind, thank you. It may even be less expensive to just buy the adaptors from mesa, then agin you would need 3 of them... Not sure if the firmware for the DB model will flash to the HD card. Ill see if i can make any sense of it from the pin files, have not even looked at that yet -Original Message- From: emc-users-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Monday, 02 May 2022 14:12 To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Emc-users Digest, Vol 193, Issue 2 Send Emc-users mailing list submissions to emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to emc-users-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net You can reach the person managing the list at emc-users-ow...@lists.sourceforge.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Emc-users digest..."

Message-ID: <00d201d85ddd$aa772440$ff656cc0$@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" HI Is this possible? For example, can I connect a 7i77 + 7i74 to a 7i80HD using a special cable? I see there is a converter board on Mesa's website, but I only realised now that I messed u when ordering, and also the 7i80DB's were out of stock. For this case, can I just refer to the pinout config that mesaflash will display? Then again, I don't see firmware for the 7i80HD with say 2x7i77 +7i74. Can I use the 7i80DB firmware?

Do you already have the daughter cards? ie it is too late to swap to 7i33TA and 7i44 ? Both are relatively cheap and in stock. I think that it is possible, as you have too many rather than too few outputs. (as has been pointed out, Mesa has an adaptor, which appears to be entirely passive) Where are you? I can probably be persuaded to do a swap, I have a 7i80DB for testing purposes and a 7i80HD would probably work just as well for that. But postage and import taxes might make that unfeasible. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." ?
